However, the use of the active compounds according to the invention is in no way restricted to these genera, but also extends in the same manner to other plants.
The active compounds according to the invention are suitable, depending on the concentration, for the total control of weeds, for example on industrial terrain and rail tracks, and on paths and areas with and without tree plantings. Similarly, the active compounds according to the invention can be employed for controlling weeds in perennial crops, for example forests, decorative tree plantings, orchards, vineyards, citrus groves, nut orchards, banana plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations, rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, cocoa plantations, soft fruit plantings and hop fields, on lawns, turf and pastureland, and for the selective control of weeds in annual crops.
The compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention have strong herbicidal activity and a broad active spectrum when used on the soil and on above-ground parts of plants. To a certain extent they are also suitable for the selective control of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds in monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous crops, both by the pre-emergence and by the post-emergence method. At certain concentrations or application rates, the active compounds according to the invention can also be employed for controlling animal pests and fungal or bacterial plant diseases. If appropriate, they can also be used as intermediates or precursors for the synthesis of other active compounds.
All plants and plant parts can be treated in accordance with the invention. Plants are to be understood as meaning in the present context all plants and plant populations such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be plants which can be obtained by conventional plant breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and recombinant methods or by combinations of these methods, including the transgenic plants and inclusive of the plant cultivars protectable or not protectable by plant breeders' rights. Plant parts are to be understood as meaning all parts and organs of plants above and below the ground, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples which may be mentioned being leaves, needles, stalks, stems, flowers, fruit bodies, fruits, seeds, roots, tubers and rhizomes. The plant parts also include harvested material, and vegetative and generative propagation material, for example cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, offsets and seeds.
Treatment according to the invention of the plants and plant parts with the active compounds is carried out directly or by allowing the compounds to act on the surroundings, environment or storage space by the customary treatment methods, for example by immersion, spraying, evaporation, fogging, scattering, painting on and, in the case of propagation material, in particular in the case of seeds, also by applying one or more coats.
The active compounds can be converted into the customary formulations such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusts, pastes, soluble powders, granules, suspension-emulsion concentrates, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active compound, and microencapsulations in polymeric materials.
These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is, liquid solvents and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surfactants, that is, emulsifiers and/or dispersants, and/or foam formers.
If the extender used is water, it is also possible, for example, to use organic solvents as cosolvents. The following are essentially suitable as liquid solvents: aromatics such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols such as butanol or glycol and their ethers and esters, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulphoxide, or else water.
Suitable solid carriers are: for example ammonium salts and ground natural minerals such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic materials such as highly-disperse silica, alumina and silicates; suitable solid carriers for granules are: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, or else synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks; suitable emulsifiers and/or foam formers are: for example nonionic and anionic emulsifiers such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates, or else protein hydrolysates; suitable dispersants are: for example lignin-sulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.
Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, or else natural phospholipids such as cephalins and lecithins and synthetic phospholipids can be used in the formulations. Other additives can be mineral and vegetable oils.
It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic colorants such alizarin colorants, azo colorants and metal phthalocyanine colorants, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
The formulations generally comprise between 0.1 and 95% by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.

A mixture with other known active compounds, such as fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, bird repellents, plant nutrients and agents which improve soil structure, is also possible.
The active compounds can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or in the use forms prepared therefrom by further dilution, such as ready-to-use solutions, suspensions, emulsions, powders, pastes and granules. They are used in a customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing or broadcasting.
The active compounds according to the invention can be applied both before and after emergence of the plants. They can also be incorporated into the soil before sowing.
The amount of active compound used can vary within a relatively wide range. It depends essentially on the nature of the desired effect. In general, the amounts used are between 1 g and 10 kg of active compound per hectare of soil surface, preferably between 5 g and 5 kg per ha.
As already mentioned above, it is possible to treat all plants and their parts according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, wild plant species and plant cultivars, or those obtained by conventional biological breeding, such as crossing or protoplast fusion, and parts thereof, are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, transgenic plants and plant cultivars obtained by genetical engineering, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods (Genetically Modified Organisms), and parts thereof are treated. The term “parts” or “parts of plants” or “plant parts” has been explained above.
Particularly preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which are in each case commercially available or in use are treated according to the invention. Plant cultivars are to be understood as meaning plants having certain properties (“traits”) and which have been obtained by conventional breeding, by mutagenesis or by recombinant DNA techniques. They can be cultivars, bio- or genotypes.
Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to the invention may also result in superadditive (“synergistic”) effects. Thus, for example, reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase in the activity of the substances and compositions to be used according to the invention—also in combination with other agro-chemical active compounds—, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products are possible which exceed the effects which were actually to be expected.
The transgenic plants or plant cultivars (i.e. those obtained by genetical engineering) which are preferably treated according to the invention include all plants which, in the genetic modification, received genetic material which imparted particularly advantageous useful properties (“traits”) to these plants. Examples of such properties are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products. Further and particularly emphasised examples of such properties are a better defence of the plants against animal and microbial pests, such as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and/or viruses, and also increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds. Examples of transgenic plants which may be mentioned are the important crop plants, such as cereals (wheat, rice), maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton, oilseed rape and also fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits and grapes), and particular emphasis is given to maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton and oilseed rape. Traits that are emphasised are in particular increased defence of the plants against insects by toxins formed in the plants, in particular those formed in the plants by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes CryIA(a), CryIA(b), CryIA(c), CryIIA, CryIIIA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CryIF and also combinations thereof) (hereinbelow referred to as “Bt plants”). Traits that are also particularly emphasized are the increased defence of the plants to fungi, bacteria and viruses by systemic acquired resistance (SAR), systemin, phytoalexins, elicitors and resistance genes and correspondingly expressed proteins and toxins. Traits that are furthermore particularly emphasised are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinotricin (for example the “PAT” gene). The genes which impart the desired traits in question can also be present in combination with one another in the transgenic plants. Examples of “Bt plants” which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties, soya bean varieties and potato varieties which are sold under the trade names YIELD GARD® (for example maize, cotton, soya beans), KnockOut® (for example maize), StarLink® (for example maize), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucotn® (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato). Examples of herbicide-tolerant plants which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties and soya bean varieties which are sold under the trade names Roundup Ready® (tolerance to glyphosate, for example maize, cotton, soya bean), Liberty Link® (tolerance to phosphinotricin, for example oilseed rape), IMI® (tolerance to imidazolinones) and STS® (tolerance to sulphonylurea, for example maize). Herbicide-resistant plants (plants bred in a conventional manner for herbicide tolerance) which may be mentioned include the varieties sold under the name Clearfield® (for example maize). Of course, these statements also apply to plant cultivars having these genetic traits or genetic traits still to be developed, which plants will be developed and/or marketed in the future.
The plants listed can be treated according to the invention in a particularly advantageous manner with the compounds of the general formula (I) or the active compound mixtures according to the invention where in addition to the good control of weed plants, the abovementioned synergistic effects with the transgenic plants of plant cultivars occur. The preferred ranges stated above for the active compounds or mixtures also apply to the treatment of these plants. Particular emphasis is given to the treatment of plants with the compounds or mixtures specifically mentioned in the present text.
The following examples show the preparation and use of the active compounds according to the invention:
A mixture of 1.20 g (1.63 mMol) of 2-bromomethyl-5-fluoro-4-(3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-trifluoromethyl-3,6-dihydro-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl)-benzonitrile, 0.15 g (1.54 mMol) of 4-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, 0.45 g (3.25 mMol) of potassium carbonate and 50 ml of acetonitrile is heated to the boil at reflux for 18 hours. The mixture is subsequently concentrated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator and the residue is taken up in 1 N hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried with sodium sulphate and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by column chromatography- silica gel, 1.fraction using methylene chloride, 2.fraction using ethyl acetate, 3.fraction using methanol- and the product is isolated from the 3.fraction by concentration.
This gives 0.32 g (46% of theory) of 5-fluoro-4-(3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-trifluoromethyl-3,6-dihydro-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl)-2-[(4-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-methyl]-benzonitrile.

The log P values stated in Table 1 were determined in accordance with EEC directive 79/831 Annex V.A8 by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) using a reverse-phase column (C 18). Temperature: 43° C.
- (a) Mobile phases for the determination in the acidic range: 0.1% aqueous phosphoric acid, acetonitrile; linear gradient from 10% acetonitrile to 90% acetonitrile—the corresponding measurement data in Table 1 are marked a).
- (b) Mobile phases for the determination in the neutral range: 0.01 molar aqueous phosphate buffer solution, acetonitrile; linear gradient from 10% acetonitrile to 90% acetonitrile—the corresponding measurement data in Table 1 are labelled b).
Calibration was carried out using unbranched alkane-2-ones (having 3 to 16 carbon atoms) with known log P values (determination of the log P values by the retention times using linear interpolation between two successive alkanols).
The lambda max values were determined in the maxima of the chromatographic signals using the UV spectra from 200 mm to 400 nm.
Starting Materials of the Formula (II):
A mixture of 0.80 g (2.44 mMol) of 5-fluoro-2-methyl-4-(3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-trifluoromethyl-3,6-dihydro-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl)-benzonitrile, 0.52 g (2.93 mMol) N-bromosuccinimide, 0.10 g of 2,2′-azodiisobuttyronitrile and 50 ml of carbon tetrachloride is heated to the boil under reflux for 18 hours and, after cooling to room temperature, added from a separating funnel to 5% strength aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The aqueous phase is separated off and extracted twice with methylene chloride. The organic phases are combined, dried with sodium sulphate and filtered. From the filtrate, the solvent is carefully distilled off under reduced pressure.
This gives 1.20 g (68% of theory, with a content of 56%) of 2-bromomethyl-5-fluoro-4-(3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-trifluoromethyl-3,6-dihydro-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl)benzonitrile.

Starting Materials of the Formula (IV):
At room temperature (about 20° C.), 2.5 g of sodium hydride are added with stirring to a mixture of 14.5 g (78 mMol) of ethyl 3-amino-4,4,4-trifluoro-crotonate and 200 ml N-methyl-pyrrolidone, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes. 14.3 g (52 mMol) of O-ethyl N-(4-bromo-2-fluoro-5-methyl-phenyl)-carbamate are then added, and the reaction mixture is heated to the boil under reflux for 8 hours and then stirred at room temperature for another 12 hours. The mixture is then poured into 300 ml of a 1N hydrochloric acid, and the resulting crystalline product is isolated by filtration with suction.
This gives 14.7 g (77% of theory) of 3-(4-bromo-2-fluoro-5-methyl-phenyl)-6-trifluoromethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione of melting point 186° C.
A mixture of 19.4 g (53 mMol) of 3-(4-bromo-2-fluoro-5-methyl-phenyl)-6-trifluoromethyl-2,4 (1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione, 8.0 g (63 mMol) of dimethylsulphate, 11.0 g (79 mMol) of potassium carbonate and 100 ml of acetone is heated with stirring at reflux for 15 hours. The mixture is then concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is taken up in ethyl acetate and washed with 1N hydrochloric acid. The aqueous phase is once more extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases are washed with water, dried with sodium sulphate and filtered off with suction through silica gel. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by column chromatography—silica gel, chloroform/ethyl acetate (vol.: 2:1).
This gives 10.0 g (50% of theory) of 3-(4-bromo-2-fluoro-5-methyl-phenyl)-1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyl-2,4(1 H,3H)-pyrimidinedione.
1H-NMR (DMSO-D6, δ): 6.56 ppm.
2.10 g (5.5 mMol) of 3-(4-bromo-2-fluoro-5-methyl-phenyl)-1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyl-2,4 (1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione are initially charged in 5 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide and, under argon, heated at 160° C. for 30 minutes, using a water separator. At about 70° C., 0.57 g (6.3 mMol) of copper(I) cyanide are added, and the reaction mixture is stirred at 150° C. for 5 hours and at room temperature (about 20° C.) for another 18 hours. The mixture is then concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is mixed with 1.34 g of iron(III) chloride and 50 ml of water. The mixture is acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid and then stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The mixture is then extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic phase is washed with water and with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried with sodium sulphate and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure, the residue is digested with diethyl ether and the resulting crystalline product is isolated by filtration with suction.
This gives 1.08 g (60% of theory) of 5-fluoro-2-methyl-4-(3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-trifluoromethyl-3,6-dihydro-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl)-benzonitrile of melting point 186° C.
1H-NMR (DMSO-D6, δ): 6.60 ppm.
Starting materials of the formula (VII):
A mixture of 15.0 g (74 mMol) of 4-bromo-2-fluoro-5-methyl-aniline, 9.5 g (88 mMol) of ethyl chloroformate, 11.6 g of pyridine and 500 ml of methylene chloride is stirred at room temperature (about 20° C.) for 2 hours. Another 0.5 ml of ethyl chloroformate are added, and the mixture is stirred for another hour. The mixture is then washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, dried with sodium sulphate and filtered. From the filtrate, the solvent is carefully distilled off under reduced pressure.
This gives 14.4 g (70% of theory) of O-ethyl N-(4-bromo-2-fluoro-5-methyl-phenyl)-carbamate as an oily residue.
1H-NMR (DMSO-D6, δ): 7.61+7.63 ppm (d).
Starting Materials of the Formula (VIII):
13.5 g (108 mMol) of 2-fluoro-5-methyl-aniline are initially charged in a mixture of 1 liter of methylene chloride and 400 ml of methanol, and 20 g of calcium carbonate (powder)—a little at a time—and a solution of 44.6 g (110 mMol) of benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide and 250 ml of methylene chloride/methanol (vol.: 5:2)—dropwise—are added successively with stirring. The mixture is stirred until the orange colour has disappeared. The mixture is then filtered, the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator and the residue is admixed with 200 ml of water and extracted repeatedly with methyl t-butylether. The combined organic phases are dried with magnesium sulphate and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is crystallised using cyclohexane.
This gives 12.0 g (55% of theory) of 4-bromo-2-fluoro-5-methyl-aniline of melting point 57° C.
